Dear Courier, I normally don't read Virgel Vaupel's columns in the BS Buzz, but a final sentence of his jumped out at me today, and I feel compelled to address it. The sentence came at the end of a column in which he managed to denigrate almost everyone, starting with women (claiming a female professor in Wyoming was an anti-American with a withered mind), then people in general (because we hire celebrities to sing the National Anthem at sports events instead of singing it ourselves), then...
I was visiting with an out-of-state friend the other day and was told that Costco was limiting the amount of toilet tissue and water that an individual could purchase. Living in the “Middle of Nowhere,” it did take me awhile to connect it with the Coronavirus.

Do peaches purchased for canning even come individually wrapped anymore? For those of us that do remember,...

In the space between the propane tanks and the lilac hedge just to the west of the tanks, the snow had shrunk to a depth of 18 to 24 inches. It’s now running 3 to 4 fee...
